Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is understandable and provides the requested information. However, elaborating on the challenges or feelings associated with learning to ride a bike at 16 would make the response more engaging and natural. Consider adding more details about the experience itself.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable but lacks fluency. There's some repetition and the phrasing is awkward in places. Work on smoother transitions between ideas and avoid unnecessary phrases like "more over." Practice speaking more naturally and concisely.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. The phrase "daily affair of life and work" is quite clumsy. Try to use more precise and natural vocabulary to express your ideas. Consider synonyms for 'passion' and 'ease'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors. The sentence structure is often incorrect. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as complex sentences, to improve accuracy and sophistication.
